And I'll second A Brief History of Misogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice. Sounds interesting, is moderate in length (320 pages), and reasonably priced at $4.99.

I will third The Last Castle: The Epic Story of Love, Loss, and American Royalty in the Nation's Largest Home and The Soul of A New Machine. They are both available from both of my libraries and there is a slim chance I could get them in a reasonable time too.

Thanks for that third on The Soul of a New Machine, Dazrin. It's an enjoyable book, even though written about the creation of computing machine way, way back. Still very much applicable today, even though the specific computer is now just a memory.
Now, we just need a third for A Brief History of Misogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice. Tom has been reading this and reported back to the What are we listening to thread, and it really sounded interesting (and timely!) |

I can't believe we have less than an hour to go and there are still so many nominations needing a second or third.

Dark Journey by Alan W. Eckert
I'd like to nominate Dark journey by Alan W. Eckert. I think this is his latest book, published in 2009. I have read all his other stuff and it is stunning. The basic theme of his books is "How the Europeans came to possess America." Every character and every conversation in the book is supported by documentation. However, the books are written like a novel. I think Eckert is very fair in his presentation: he shows there were scoundrels on both sides of the conflict between the Europeans and the Native Americans. I have not read this one, but would love to.

Well, everything with a second made it in, I think we had some long and/or expensive books this time around which damped the enthusiasm for them. Of course, there are 68 replies to the thread as I type this. Probably the most we have had in a while.
